This year Christin and I used the opportunity to jump in the car and drive south. On our way down, we passed: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. However, we only stopped for more than in Virginia, Sotuh Carolina, and Florida.

In May, our first visitor from Europe arrived (my mother). We were very happy about this and it was a great opportunity to further look around in Pittsburgh. After picking her up at the airport, we first went to eat something. Later in the evening, we went up Mount Washington to enjoy the beautiful view over downtown.

The next day we had breakfast at Pamel’s Diner. Christin and I had Pancakes and my mother enjoyed a sandwich. Afterwards, I headed to work and the girls explored Squirrel Hill.
